Alireza Faghani to Officiate South Korea’s Friendlies

South Korea will face Uruguay on October 12 and meet Panama four days later in another friendly.

Faghani was supposed to officiate a friendly match between Japan and Chile, scheduled for September 7 at the Sapporo Stadium but the match was canceled due to an earthquake in Japan.

Faghani officiated the third-place match between Belgium and England in the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

In his impressive career, the 40-year-old has officiated finals of the 2014 AFC Champions League, 2015 AFC Asian Cup, 2015 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Football Tournament.
